MES is a ONE STOP SHOP YOUR PIPELINE MATERIALS VERIFICATION PROGRAM.
When a pipeline operator performs an excavation or dig, it provides an opportunity to gather data through a non-destructive direct assessment. MES provides certified technicians experienced in providing internal and external direct assessments of pipeline excavations. MES provides quality data for your bell hole examinations including soil ph and resistivity, coating condition, wall thickness, chemistry, weld type, mechanical properties, and material microstructure through in-field replication. Additionally, we can provide analysis of internal or external corrosion, as well as inspection for mechanical damage via ultra-sonic testing and laser profilometry. So, whether you need verification of your In-Line Inspection or routine ECDA / ICDA analysis, MES has you covered.
